Missa brevis

This liturgical setting dates from 1977, but has recently been released by the composer. Latin text: Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, At the conclusion. Taut scoring (with some divisi) contains both homophonic sections and imitative part-writing, showing the influence of the polyphonic masters. An accessible addition to the repertoire for intermediate standard choirs, but one which professional standard groups will also find rewarding.
Instrumentation:
mixed choir (SATB) a cappella
